Everywhere you look
There's so much trouble
And so much pain
You're tempted to stay safely inside
Outside seems a tad insane
The goal?
To be out of control
Full of fury; lean in soul
But, I know you know
I trust that you know
Every day, more frightening news
Shared to unnerve and confuse
Especially designed to shake
Our faith; our joy
For goodness’ sake
How much grief can some bodies take?
I think that you know
No— I’m sure you know
Warring, angry, lost, alone
I'm not sure what this time has done
To hearts that seem so awfully cold
Eager to harm; brazen, bold
But, I know you know
I need you to know
I'm grateful, in spite of what I see
So many, so worse off than me
It seems there's nothing I can do
Except pour out my prayer to you
And each day, your reply’s the same
Leaving me no cause to complain
Remembering— you know
Yes. You always know
Can this trouble be sustained?
When it's done, who’ll still remain?
Perhaps, that’s your business not mine
Perhaps it all follows design
Should I just be content and say
How glad I am for this brisk day?
Lord, I know you know
I trust that you know
